The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has confirmed new rules to make authorised firms more responsible for their Appointed Representatives (ARs) and Introducer Appointed Representatives (IARs). The new rules are effective from 8th December 2022 and are intended to help prevent consumers being mis-sold or mis-led by ARs, and to prevent misconduct by ARs undermining the fair and safe operation of markets.
